Set circumference and height
Choose the number of positions around the cuff and the number of rows. The first and last positions on each row meet at the marked seam.
Kandi Pattern Maker
Make an editable Kandi cuff chart from an image or sample. Set beads around the cuff and rows tall, choose straight or staggered bead columns, edit colors, and check the bead count by row and color.
Chart preview
24 × 24 positions
Example chart loaded. Choose a color and paint, or upload an image.
Keyboard: focus the chart, use arrow keys to move, then press Space or Enter to paint.
The marked seam joins the first and last bead positions in each cuff row.
Features
Explore what this workspace can do, how each control affects the result, and which export fits your next step.
Choose straight or staggered rows
The staggered view offsets alternating bead rows while preserving the row-by-row count.
Inspect bead counts
The color key and row list count chart positions by color. They do not estimate extras or identify a brand catalog.
Edit before printing
Paint cells, download a PNG, export row counts as CSV, or print the chart.
Design a Kandi cuff chart
Set the bead positions around the cuff and its height, then inspect the closure seam and each row before assembling.
Set the cuff grid
Enter beads around the cuff and rows tall. Use the stagger control to change the visual layout.
Convert or draw
Upload an image or paint over the included sample. Keep high-contrast shapes for a small bead grid.
Check the seam and totals
Review the row order, closure position, and color quantities before printing or exporting.
Plan a closed row, not a square pegboard
The horizontal axis represents positions around one cuff row. Its ends join at a closure seam, so the first and last columns are neighbors when you assemble the design.
Staggered rows shift their bead centers by half a cell for a woven look. The chart still reports the number of bead positions in each row; it does not replace a pattern for a specific stitch or cuff construction.
Treat the counts as chart quantities
The totals count colored positions in the current chart. They do not include spare beads, identify a supplier, or confirm that a physical bead matches the displayed color.
Check your actual bead colors and construction method before starting. Adjust a color in the preview if the screen sample is not a useful match for the beads you own.
Kandi pattern maker questions
How do I make a Kandi cuff pattern?
Set the number of beads around and rows tall, then upload an image or edit the loaded sample. The chart marks each bead position and the closure seam.
How is the cuff circumference shown?
Each chart row runs around the cuff. The last column connects back to the first at the closure seam; the entered bead count is the number of positions in that row.
What does staggered rows change?
It offsets the centers of alternating rows in the visual chart. It does not change the number of bead positions or specify a particular weaving stitch.
Can I upload a photo?
Yes. PNG, JPG, and WebP images up to 20 MB are processed in your browser and reduced to the selected grid.
Can I edit the bead colors?
Yes. Select a chart color and paint the positions you want to change. Counts recalculate from the edited chart.
Are the color names a specific bead brand?
No. The built-in colors are generic screen references, not a manufacturer catalog or a promise of an exact physical match.
Does the bead count include extra beads?
No. It counts positions shown in the chart. Add your own allowance for samples, mistakes, and replacements.
Can I print a row-by-row cuff chart?
Yes. Print view includes the chart, color key, row sequences, and the marked closure seam.
Can I download the Kandi chart?
Download a PNG for the chart image or a CSV with row and color counts.
Is the project saved if I close the page?
No. The editor keeps work in the current browser session. Download or print the chart before leaving.
